	We'd love to have you join us at some point.
	We'll be checking in with all things simple man Bill O'Reilly, Charles Payne on this banking fiasco, 800-941, Sean the number.
	Look, I'm just going to be very, very, very straightforward and blunt, as I always am.
	I am very concerned about this country in a way that I've not felt my entire adult life.
	I am worried about, obviously, the economy.
	When you have two-thirds of your fellow countrymen living paycheck to paycheck, we've got a problem.
	When you have 40-year-high after 40-year-high inflation, we've got a problem.
	When you've got an administration that is so, I guess, indoctrinated into this climate alarmist cult, we've got a problem.
	This open borders is a massive problem.
	Never mind the people on the terror watch list that we caught.
	What about the ones we didn't catch?
	What about the fentanyl?
	What about the heroin?
	What about the cocaine?
	What about the methamphetamine?
	I'm concerned.
	The thing that is so, so frustrating to me is all of these problems were preventable.
	Trump secured the border.
	You could have built on what his success was.
	We were a net exporter of energy.
	We were energy independent.
	Joe's now importing oil from Venezuela.
	Saudi Arabia last year made $160 some odd billion dollars, the biggest year ever for their largest oil producer.
	Why?
	Because we have artificially reduced the world supply of oil, and that's why you're paying higher than usual gas prices.
	I mean, soaring at times, and it comes back down to earth and soars some more.
	We've now half depleted our strategic petroleum reserves.
	I'm worried about so many different things.
	have a president that actually allowed our number one geopolitical foe China to fly a spy balloon over Alaskan airspace and he didn't shoot it down and then let it fly right down the western coast of Canada and nobody shot it down and then fly right into Idaho and nobody shot it down and then you know allowed the the balloon the spy balloon to fly into Montana right over our ICBM missile
	Silos and nobody shot it down.
	Then they went to Kansas and Missouri and Kentucky and then the Carolinas and then oh, after they, they've got all their intel that you could ever possibly want.
	They finally shot it down.
	Now we've got this new incident and that deals with China.
	I mean, it is a this.
	This is getting very scary and what's worse is when we're being lied to.
	For example, Joe Biden, on this bank failure issue, SVB.
	I called the Biden billionaire, uh bank bailout.
	I mean, these are billionaires.
	Silicon Valley, it's a woke bank.
	Yes, it's woke.
	I have a big article about all the people on the board.
	They're woke and it's it's big time.
	Liberal investors and they lost their money and we're paying for it.
	But Joe lies to us and says, no losses will be borne by the taxpayer.
	It's going to be borne in fees by the banks.
	Who pays the bank fees?
	We do, but they lie to us and I'll tell you this is now really getting very, very scary because China remember this.
	We had this incident with these lasers outside of uh, off the coast of Hawaii, seemingly from China, and I'll tell you what the problem is, they don't fear Joe Biden.
	That's what it is, more than anything else, and that is a very, very scary scenario that's unfolding for the country.
	I will tell you this whole incident with Russia.
	Russia ought to have everybody nervous now, and it's yes, it is that important now let me explain this to you.
	So we have this reckless aggression.
	We have a in over international waters, a U.S. Reaper drone uh, above the Black Sea again international waters.
	We have every right to be there down by a Russian fighter jet well actually, two jets.
	You have two Su-27 aircraft flying really close to this unmanned drone.
	And then what happens?
	Putin's thugs dump oil or sort of oil fuel on the drone, not once, but twice.
	Then they ram the propeller sending this you know 14 million dollar drone into the sea below, and today we're reading that Russia is looking to recover forever you.
	our drone it's our drone in international waters and some reports claim that the collision is not intentional that the Russian pilots were incompetent amateurs This is what this idiot, you know, State Department spokesperson said, Ned Price.
	He said that Russia downing the U.S. drone was probably unintentional.
	Listen.
	Just to pin this down, is the U.S. position that this was either incompetence or accidental, not an intentional clipping of our drone?
	Andrew, I think the best assessment right now is that it probably was unintentional.
	It probably was the result of profound incompetence on the part of one of these Russian pilots.
	Explain to me how you're going to call any pilot of a fighter jet profoundly incompetent.
	Why do I have, why does that not make sense to me if you're flying a fighter jet?
	You know, why would they almost instantaneously, now remember, they didn't want us to know about the Chinese spy balloon.
	They let them spy all over the country and they didn't do anything.
	And then because they got criticized, they went and used $400,000 sidewinders.
	They missed once.
	And they took out three, to this day, unidentified objects out of the sky.
	We don't know what they are because they haven't told us.
	We do believe that one of them might have been a balloon from a balloon club that they put in the air.
	And we might have spent $400,000, or maybe that's the one they missed on, or maybe $800,000 taking down a little balloon that a balloon club put up there, you know, for fun.
	I know people that have those little drone things you fly around.
	You know, people are into weird stuff, Adam Schiff.
	They're into weird shift.
	And I don't get it.
	But this is where it gets outright scary here.
	And we got to be concerned for our country.
	And this is now where the problem comes in here.
	Because if you're going to tell me that it was probably unintentional, you are either naive, dumb, or stupid.
	Now, I can't say with 100% certainty, but I'll give you 99.8% certainty that Vladimir Putin himself absolutely positively signed off on shooting down that drone over international waters.
	I don't think this was an accident.
	I don't believe that it was probably unintentional.
	I don't believe that fighter jet pilots are profoundly incompetent or they wouldn't be in the cockpit of that fighter jet.
	I'm not buying any of this.
	This was no accident in my mind.
	And I can guarantee you that the pilots didn't act on their own.
	They wouldn't do that without the approval of Vladimir Putin.
	Now, Russia and Putin, we're talking about a hostile actor and a hostile regime.
	We now have seen the devastation.
	I mean, there's a whole, oh my gosh, I ought to show this on TV tonight.
	The front cover of today's New York Post has don't look away.
	It's a story about a Ukrainian refugee actually made it to Germany, and she was shocked because the reporting in Germany about the war and the devastation and the human disaster that it was unfolding in Ukraine that she saw with her own eyes, all the dead bodies, all the mass graves, all the residential homes areas that have been bombed out, all the apartment buildings that have bombed out.
	I mean, they actually show the pictures.
	Maybe I'll show the pictures tonight.
	This is evil in our time, what we are describing here.
	This is not an accident.
	And they showed in the New York Post today all of these dead bodies.
	I mean, this is indiscriminate murder.
	This is indiscriminate human destruction by Vladimir Putin.
	And our government is telling us that it was probably not probably unintentional and profoundly by profoundly incompetent Russian fighter pilots.
	They're fighter jet pilots.
	So, you know, they're trying to make up from the mistake they made yesterday.
	That was said yesterday.
	And so out comes General Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
	Firstly, we don't seek armed conflict with Russia.
	First thing, you know what my instinct?
	My first instinct is, you took out one of our drones, I'm taking out two of yours.
	You take out another one, I'm going to take out 20 of yours.
	You got to show strength.
	Oh, well, Hannity, what are you going to do?
	They might use a tactical nuke.
	Well, are you going to let him intimidate you into submission?
	Because we've got nukes too.
	And they better fear our nukes as much as they think we fear theirs.
	That's the way it works.
	Mutually assured destruction actually worked.
	Anyway, so this is General Milley.
	We don't seek armed conflict with Russia.
	No, we didn't.
	They're the ones that shot our drone out of the sky.
	They're the ones dumping fuel on our drone.
	Listen.
	As far as an act of war goes, I'm not going to go there.
	Incidents happen, and clearly, we do not seek armed conflict with Russia.
	And I believe that at this point, we should investigate this incident and move on from there.
	But we will continue to exercise our rights in international airspace.
	Well, okay.
	That means nothing to me.
	No, we don't seek the armed conflict with Russia.
	I don't want World War III.
	But they're the ones that are hostile.
	We're not the ones that shot down their drone.
	They shot down our drone.
	Then he said Russia's downing the U.S. drone is part of a pattern of behavior.
	Well, is it part of a pattern of behavior or is it what you said yesterday that it was unintentional and profoundly incompetent pilots likely did it?
	In terms of the pattern of behavior, Ellie, yes, this is a part of a pattern of behavior.
	The United States and Russian military forces operate in proximity to each other throughout the world.
	We're operating in the Middle East and Syria, for example.
	We have areas up in Alaska that routinely meet the maritime or aerial vessels come in contact in the regular behavior.
	Then listen to this answer.
	Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was asked straight up whether Russia downing the U.S. drone is an act of war.
	He won't answer.
	Listen.
	After what you've seen, that this was intentional.
	Is this considered an act of war?
	Well, thanks for the question, Lita.
	Thank you for the question.
	I'm buying time.
	I'm not sure for Minister Shoigu, nor will I get into the details of our discussion.
	I'll just reiterate that the United States will fly and operate wherever international law allows.
	Now, we take any potential for escalation very seriously, and that's why I believe it's important to keep the lines of communication open.
	And let him get away with it?
	Here's my question.
	What is Joe Biden, your commander-in-chief, going to do?
	What, offer another waiver on Nord Stream 2 and kiss Putin's ass even further?
	Or maybe put more sanctions in place?
	Putin's getting rich because Joe Biden artificially lowered the supply of energy on the world market.
	And Putin and Saudi Arabia, now Venezuela is getting rich because of Joe Biden's adherence to this climate alarmist cult.
	Putin won't care, you know, because he's selling his energy to China and every other country in the world.
	Joe Biden caused that, caused prices to rise, their profits to rise, because he cut back dramatically on all domestic production.
	He's even importing and making Venezuela rich again.
	It's insane.
	What is Joe Biden going to do?
	And here's the sad reality and why every American should worry.
	He's likely going to do nothing, just like he did nothing with China.
	And when China goes to Taiwan, he's likely going to do nothing again because he didn't do anything with the spy balloon.
	And then he overreacted and shot down unidentified objects with $400,000 sidewinders.
	You know, meanwhile, other Chinese spy balloons spotted near U.S. territories all over the globe.
	We had these green space lasers from a mysterious Chinese satellite beaming down around Hawaii.
	You know, now we have President Xi's going to be meeting with Putin.
	And now we have the mullahs of Iran.
	It looks like they're very close to getting a nuclear weapon.
	What's Joe going to do there?
	Nothing.
	He wants to bring back the Iranian nuclear deal.
	You know, what do you think China is going to do with Taiwan?
	They're going to reunify, to use their words.
	In other words, take the country over.
	Why?
	Because we have a weak president.
	Well, you didn't like the guy with mean tweets.
	Okay.
	They feared him.
	They wouldn't be pulling this crap if Donald Trump was president.
	And there would be repercussions if, in fact, they did.
	They shoot our drone down, we shoot five of theirs down.
	That's the rule in life.
	A bully punches you in the face.
	I beat the living hell out of them so I never get punched again.
	That's the answer.
	These guys are bullies.
	They are thugs.
	They are dictators.
	They are downright evil.
	Period end of sense.
	Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.

	I'm going to tell you what happened here.
	Russia sat back.
	They watched China's spy balloon incident and, you know, flying over Alaska, down the coast of Canada, go over our missile silos in Montana, in Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, the Carolinas, and then they watched the overreaction.
	You know, and after the communist Chinese got all the intel, then we'll decide to shoot that down.
	And we still don't know or have an answer to what the other three unidentified objects were.
	Why do you think Putin did this?
	Why would people be so naive to tell us it was probably unintentional when it's probably intentional?
	It was a profoundly incompetent pilot.
	There's no such thing as a profoundly incompetent fighter jet pilot.
	Driving liberals crazy.
	Three hours a day, every day.

	And you want to act now and join the battle over the education for our country's sake, for crying out loud.
	So I don't like being lied to.
	I just don't.
	It's in my DNA.
	You know, there used to be a bit Bill Cosby did it.
	The kid took the cookie from the cookie jar.
	Did you take the cookie?
	No, daddy, I didn't take the cookie.
	Meanwhile, this cookie all over the kid's face.
	Okay.
	And my kids, when they did, you know, stupid stuff like every kid does.
	I mean, nothing that earth-shattering.
	And then I say, Did you take the cookie?
	You want this cookie all over their face?
	You know, chocolate all over.
	No, I didn't touch the cookies.
	Really?
	Because they're all missing.
	They're all gone.
	And your face looks like it ate a lot of cookies.
	My kids will get more trouble for lying.
	Right?
	Okay.
	So we're being lied to.
	Think about this.
	When your State Department says, oh, these Russian fighter jets taking down and taking out this U.S. drone was probably unintentional.
	The pilots were probably profoundly incompetent.
	Do you believe that?
	Let me ask you a question.
	How did they do that?
	And not once, but twice dump jet fuel right on top of the drone.
	That doesn't sound like an incompetent maneuver to me.
	Sounds like a complicated maneuver.
	I've been in a C-130 flying to Baghdad and watching an in-air refueling.
	One of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
	And the pilots are in their 20s.
	I don't know a fighter jet that's incompetent.
	Or to use their words, profoundly incompetent.
	You know, so now they have to push back.
	Now we have the communist Chinese and their spy balloon, followed up by Vladimir Putin taking out a drone.
	What is Joe Biden going to do?
	Tell me what you're going to do.
	Are you going to give him a waiver for Nord Stream 2 again?
	Are you going to put sanctions on him?
	Because the sanctions aren't working because he cut off basically all of the supply of energy that he's selling to Western Europe and he started selling it to China.
	And President Xi and Vladimir Putin are meeting together.
	And guess what?
	I bet they're going to be talking about Joe Biden and what a cognitive mess he is as a president.
	And what a difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
	Now, you may not like Donald Trump.
	There are people that hate listening to the show.
	So I want to tell you something.
	Maybe you do hate him.
	Maybe you didn't like his tweeting.
	Maybe you don't like his style.
	I get it.
	I've heard it.
	All these years he's been in the public arena.
	Do you think that Vladimir Putin would have taken out a drone of ours if Donald Trump were president?
	I don't think so.
	You think President Xi would have flown a spy balloon over the United States?
	You think it would have even gotten to Alaska before Trump shot it down?
	I don't think so.
	He's the guy.
	Remember, the caliphate grew under Biden and Obama, and it got smashed and smothered and destroyed under Donald Trump.
	Solomoni, yeah, he took on the Iranians too.
	They followed him for two weeks, according to sources I have, and they knew exactly where he was.
	They knew he was on a commercial airliner, and they didn't want to take down the airliner and kill innocent beings because we actually are a country that has a heart and a soul.
	They waited for him to stand on the tarmac.
	They had people there, intelligence, identifying that it was Solomani on the tarmac, and they took his ass out.
	The world's worst terrorist, boom, out, right there.
	The world watched Donald Trump do all these things.
	Story is that Donald Trump was meeting with President Xi at the White House, and that was the night that he bombed Syria after they had used, I think, gas at that point.
	And apparently, leaned over and said, I guess I got to tell him he's going to wake up in the morning and hear about it, so I might as well tell him myself.
	That's what I, my sources tell me these things.
	Amazing sources I have.
	But you know what?
	And then the report is that President Xi said that makes sense.
	I understand that.
	It was a respect.
	They might have thought he was crazy, but that little bit of crazy goes a long way in negating hostile activity because he might be crazy enough to do it.
	That's called strength.
	Ronald Reagan had strength.
	I mean, before Reagan became president, they said he was a warmonger and he'd start World War III.
	Reagan, no, he ended the Cold War because of his peace-through-strength policies, and he built up our nation's military, which brings me to a whole other issue about what our country is doing, and it's driving me crazy.
	You know, pursuing woke policies in our military.
	I mean, you can't even make this Adam shift up.
	You can't.
	It's that bad.
	It's that dumb.
	It's that stupid.
	But that's, you know, that's our current government, unfortunately.
	That's who they are.
	But where did I find this story today?
	It's in my box.
	By the way, somebody sent me this.
	I don't know if it's true or not.
	It's sad.
	It looks like it probably was photoshopped.
	So I'm giving you that it is.
	And it translates from Russian to English.
	And it has a picture of Joe Biden hugging somebody.
	Elderly people need attention.
	And it gives out a phone number.
	I don't know if it's true, but I think it kind of sums up what the Russians and the Chinese and the Iranians and the North Koreans think of Joe Biden.
	U.S. European Command called Russia's actions dangerous, noting it could lead to miscalculation, unintended escalation.
	John Kirby slamming Russia's aggression, saying the U.S. does not need to have some sort of check-in with the Russians before we fly in international airspace.
	Also said there have been other intercepts of U.S. aircraft by Russian aircraft in recent weeks.
	So Putin has been ratcheting up his hostility.
	My question is: why the hell haven't you acted yet?
	And do it back to them?
	That's the only thing that's going to stop a bully.
	This guy, you really need to see these pictures.
	I think I'm going to show them tonight on TV.
	The images of residential buildings being bombed out by Vladimir Putin.
	Indiscriminate bombing.
	He's not going for military targets.
	No, he's going for civilian targets.
	He's reigning a campaign of terror.
	Now, don't get me wrong here.
	You know, I am angry at Europe.
	I'm furious.
	I'm furious at NATO.
	I'm furious at all of Ukraine's neighbors.
	This is their backyard.
	And we're bearing the brunt of the financial cost.
	Don't mind helping.
	Only, there's one big condition.
	Well, two.
	One, they've got to do their part financially.
	And two, if you're going to let Zelensky fight, don't put handcuffs on him the way Joe Biden has been doing.
	For example, Poland offered, what, 30 MIG fighter jets.
	Give them the jets.
	We're not paying for those.
	Let Poland give it to them so we can fight in the air as well.
	I mean, it's unbelievable to me.
	But this is now a very, very dangerous world.
	And if we're just going to sit back and think that this is going to go away, you are dreaming.
	You're not dealing with good people in Vladimir Putin and President Qi and Kim Jong-un and the mullahs in Iran.
	There is evil.
	In the last century, 100 million human souls died.
	Mao, China, Stalin, Russia, Hitler, Nazi Germany, fascism, Imperial Japan, the killing fields, Cambodia.
	I'm only touching the surface here.
	And the only thing they understand is nothing but pure unadulterated strength.
	That's it.
	And then it brings us to the next lie.
	You know, they have the big lie that, you know, well, it was likely an unintentional, probably unintentional, by profoundly incompetent flyers.
	No.
	Then you have Joe Biden saying, American tax fare, not going to pay.
	They're not going to pay one penny.
	Not one cent.
	All customers who had deposits in these banks can rest assured.
	I want to rest assured they'll be protected and they'll have access to their money as of today.
	That includes small businesses across the country that bank there and need to make payroll, pay their bills, and stay open for business.
	No losses will be, and this is an important point.
	No losses will be borne by the taxpayers.
	Let me repeat that.
	No losses will be borne by the taxpayers.
	Instead, the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the deposit insurance fund.
	No money will be borne by the taxpayer.
	Okay, so banks charge fees.
	Where do they get their fees from?
	They get their fees from you, the customer.
	Most Americans have bank accounts.
	They have something.
	They have some bank accounts someplace, somewhere.
	Some people don't, but most people do.
	So what's going to happen to your fees?
	They're going to go up to pay for Biden's multi-billion dollar bailout, his billionaire bank bailout plan that he's trying to say we're not going to pay for.
	That is a lie.
	That is a lie.
	It was a lie when he said, oh, this is a minor incursion in Ukraine.
	Russia will be held accountable if it invades.
	And it depends on what it does.
	It's one thing if it's a minor incursion.
	If you end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.
	Minor incursion.
	What's a minor incursion?
	That's not a big deal, is it?
	Minor incursion.
	Have you looked at the death and destruction?
	I don't want, there's going to be no American boots on the ground.
	Stop putting handcuffs on Ukraine because they've shown great courage and valor.
	And we cannot be bearing the burden of cost here.
	This is Europe's problem.
	I'm sick and tired of Europe not paying their fair share.
	I'm tired of it.
	I'm also tired of being lied to by our own administration.
	This Biden banking crisis now has now spread to Europe because of jitters over the banking giant Credit Suisse, as apparently they look like the next ones that are going to fall.
	Their shares are down dramatically.
	You have the failed Silicon Valley Bank donated $73 million, according to Fox Business, to Black Lives Matter.
	They committed $5 billion to woke policies.
	Hillary and Obama veterans worked at the woke bank, Silicon Valley Bank.
	Wow.
	One mega Hillary donor went to Shinto, a Shinto shrine, to pray for after Donald Trump won the White House.
	Another worked for President Obama before a political career failed.
	The third was a prolific contributor to Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, and owns a Napa Valley Vineyard just 15 minutes from the former Speaker of the House.
	The group's lack of banking expertise should be a focus.
	Failed woke banks, yeah, they donated very heavily to Democrats, not to Republicans.
	Shocker.
	Top Democrats now rushing to dump campaign cash that came in from Biden's billionaire bank bailout banks.
	You know, nearly $200,000 so far.
	Chucky Schumer, who else?
	Maxime Waters.
	They're all giving the money back now.
	Okay.
	How come JP Morgan saw this in November?
	With pinpoint accuracy, they said this was going to happen.
	But our government didn't know.
	With all the regulations and regulators that we have, all the bureaucrats we have.
	Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	I have a whole story.
	I wish I had time to get into it about all the wokeness.
	Inflation, yeah, spiking 6% in February.
	Unbelievable.
	You know, should you be worried about your money in the bank?
	I can't answer that question for you.
	That to me is like telling you, you know, everyone wanted me to tell everybody to get the shot.
	I never did because I don't know a thing about your medical condition.
	I don't know a thing about the efficacy of that shot.
	You know, the only thing that made sense to me that I really thought worked well, and I said so, but I also said check with your doctor.
	If you got it, was monoclonal antibodies.
	We did have studies now that showed HCQ taken early did mitigate some of the symptoms.
	You know, three days before the Silicon Valley Bank failure, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen cautioned that climate change is putting the banking industry at risk.
	I can't make this up.
	Moody's, by the way, puts First Republic, five U.S. banks on a downgrade watch on top of their warning yesterday.
	Credit Suisse shares now at an all-time low as the bank announces it found material weakness after Wall Street, an expert, predicted that it's going to be the next to fall.
	Carl Icon saying our economy is breaking because of inflation and poor corporate leadership and poor government leadership.
	I would add.
	I don't know.
	They're fueling a broader route now.
	Europe's stocks, banks are freaking out.
	Can you blame them?
	People's money.
	You know, this is, you work your whole life to save money.
	Scary.
	Scary times.
	Well, one thing you need is a good night's sleep.

	You know, just when you think it can't get any worse in terms of how dumb the people in the Biden administration are.
	Anyway, Washington Examiner, apparently in an interview with Energy Secretary Granholm, she said, China has been very sensitive and has actually invested a lot of their solutions to achieve their goals, she said.
	So we're hopeful that, you know, that we can all learn from what China is doing.
	China is investing in clean energy, actually.
	No, they're the world's biggest polluter, you idiot.
	A developing nation, according to the Paris Accords.
